Published in Budapest by the Karaite community of Egypt. The introduction states that the previous Sidurim were too lengthy and cumbersome causing confusion among many people, especially those of the younger generation. Therefore, the Beth Din of the Karaite community of Egypt consented that a book of Karaite prayers be published in a shortened version - “helpful both for both seasoned Chazanim and especially the students of our school.”
